Second 👻 Story [Anonymous Text]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[For the past few days, all Ashley's done is try to figure out how to get the PokéConnect anonymous. It'd been an idea in the back of her mind for a week or so and then- well, it became an urge and now here she is.]

I need to ask for some advice.
This might also turn out to be a moral question, maybe? I'm playing by ear.

The scenario:
You take part in something careless and thoughtlessly cruel. A tragedy occurs. One that costs lives. You've accidentally hurt a dear, close friend.
That friend then methodically and maliciously plans and carries out revenge that inadvertently puts your life, the lives of your friends, and their own life in danger.
What the hell do you do?
Is it right to be pissed when it's your fault it all happened?
IS it really your fault?
What's worse, a horrible accident or a plot purposely designed to hurt others?
How would you try to move forward?
How would you try to forgive yourself?
Do you deserve to?

Consider this a moral quandary if you will. I'd just really like some advice. Some opinions.

I agree, honestly. It's made it easier - you can see that a lot of other people have done... bad things. So you know you're not the only one who screwed up, which makes it more... human, I guess?

[hashtagafreakingghost]

That's one way to put it.
All human together.
Thank you, this has been valuable input.

[grapeeater]

You're welcome.

For what it's worth, I think that trying to focus on the future here is better than focusing on the past. You can't change what you did, but maybe you can change how you'd react in the future?

Easier said than done, I know.

One step at a time. I'm never good at thinking just in the moment, so it'll be a challenge.

That's all anyone can ask though, isn't it?

[Well. If you're not a Kureshima, that's all anyone can ask.]
